Current periodic table elements might make up only 5% of the universe. If more elements are out there, they can be added to the periodic table. There isn’t going to be anything shoehorned into the existing table, however. There are no half protons.

And I don’t know that I would put all my stock in dark matter and dark energy yet. It’s all completely theoretical (and not a small bit speculative). We haven’t found any yet. It’s more a bookkeeping technique than anything real at this time.
